As well as,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to evaluate our efficiency and organization in accomplishing God\u2019s mission around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year our focus has been to address the financial needs of \u2018giving churches\u2019 and \u2018receiving churches\u2019. Our proposal to the international Delegates Meeting is for the \u2018giving churches\u2019 to maintain a consistent or yearly missions offering through 2020. This commitment to missions would allow the receiving churches to focus on building their churches. Our evaluation showed that many receiving churches still spend too much time year after year traveling to different churches seeking and scrambling for support. This affects their ability to build a multiplying ministry, which would save more souls and inspire the \u201cgiving churches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our proposal and the ultimate goal for the \u2018receiving churches\u2019 is to move towards self-sufficiency. We recommend the model used by the African churches that has been effective to support missions within their local geographic areas. Their model includes a 5-point practical plan. Our committee recommends this platform be shared with all \u2018receiving churches\u2019 for consideration and implementation. This plan involves eliminating wasteful spending by monitoring and evaluating church expenses as well as establishing boards with a clear mission and vision for their geographic area including quarterly reports and proper church audits. Also, we are encouraging a five year challenge to grow, raise up leaders and invest in next generation ministries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of the missions committee has been: This year our focus has been to address the financial needs of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[71,387],"tags":[],"post_folder":[357],"class_list":["post-185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-leadership"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Sunday Awolowo","author_link":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/author\/sawolowo\/"},"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phsvEw-2Z","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":187,"url":"https:\/\/disciplestoday.org\/clone\/evangelists-service-team-report-november-2011\/","url_meta":{"origin":185,"position":0},"title":"Evangelists Service Team Report November, 2011","author":"Sunday Awolowo","date":"December 13, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"The Evangelists Committee is encouraged by the continued progress that God is producing in our worldwide fellowship of churches.
